You're Very Welcome! I will have to look because I think it's additional code that controls if they will autonomously place them when the weather is not the best. I can dig around and see what I find. So if you change the tuning a little they may still toss them down when it rains. I completely forgot about that aspect because I skip rain out of my game. It's sunny till it snows lol

Sweet! Thanks for the code to make umbrella/radio optional.

I actually like it if they randomly place beach towels at appropriate places. But when they put them in hotels/motels that do not fit, it is just ridiculous. They also use them during raining! And then there are the times they place one blocking the entrance. This mod is a necessity b/c of these issues.


So I went back to ICARUS_buyable beach towels and if used with that mod it will fix the weather issue. That mod does address the tuning for the weather.

Really? That's a bonus! He did the same thing with "fun in the sun" mod, which the sims will use a lot of pool equipment autonomously such as the floating bed, etc... but only during hot weather or season.


Yes! I went back and reread what Buyable beach towels changes (wanted to make sure I didn't conflict) and the weather tuning is already included. So it's a win win. I wonder if I should make a standalone for it though. So even if you don't use either mod it will adjust the chances of them using it based on the weather. *Side project: Making it so when lounging on the pool lounger they actually last longer. Couple of flavors being worked on. User Directed and Longer time lounging.

I have a lot of projects going on LOL
